Use O 13 from Perth in 1990s?
by john & sylvia 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

I was called by a VK station in Perth Australia while testing my 5w rig and hand held 70cm 10 element yagi in my attic! Not just once but twice 2 days running via the Oscar 13 satellite. Think it was about 37000 km out in space in its elliptical orbit at the time. This took place in the mid 1990s and was a good solid SSB contact. My QTH was IO90LW .... Clanfield just north of Portsmouth UK. Never did get a QSL card! Anybody know who this may have been? 73 John G8HUY / G0WEH Sent from Samsung Mobile

Swayam and Lapan A3 identified
by Nico Janssen 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

All, Detailed doppler measurements show that Swayam is object 41607, 2016-040J, and Lapan A3 is object 41603, 2016-040E. Although it was suggested that Lapan A3 would not transmit on amateur frequencies, it appears to have a data downlink on 437.325 MHz. 73, Nico PA0DLO

Many thanks, Roland, The preliminary tle was too much ahead in time for Doppler shift tracking. Best 73 ! Jean-Pierre F5YG On 24/06/2016 23:30, Roland Zurmely via AMSAT-BB wrote: > Perfect Doppler correction for SWAYAM using object 2016-040J in tle-new.txt ! > 73 de Roland > ...

Planned Field Day Activity
by Ed Empey 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

The Snohomish County Hams Club in Washington State plans to operate WA7LAW on the satellites during Field Day. Primary operations will be on the linear satellites, FO-29, XW-2A, XW-2C, and XW-2F and maybe even LilacSat. We may try to get through the pile-up on SO-50 but may not be successful. Please look for us and make a contact. Tks de Ed, WA7ETH
